Sinopsis
In this episode of 'Metaphor & Reality', writer E. S. Dallaire begins with an update on his current book-length project 'The First World Was a Pipe Dream', then moves on to talk about Vaclav Smil's 2017 book 'Energy and Civilization', and how his present reading of the Bible (specifically, the 'Five Books of Moses'), is informing his read of the thesis Smil presents, that the formation of primitive agricultural societies was motivated primarily by the desire to improve the efficient use and transformation of raw materials into energy products consumable by humans.
